<p>I was wondering wat my chance are at vassar, I live in southern PA and row a lot (well enough to prolly get recruited at vassar if they recruit)</p>
<p>GPA: should be a 4.0 or 4.1 w by the end of this year (freshman year issue to go on councelors note, severe family illness while in Hanover and i broke my leg in 4 places playing ice hockey missing several weeks of school and having a full leg cast for 6 months)
SAT's : W: 750 CR: 650 M: 700
SAT II's: will take Us History and English
AP's Junior Year: AP English, AP Us History, AP Art History
Ap's Senior Year: AP Chem, AP English 12th, AP Gov, AP Economics, AP French
My EC's include NHS, French National Honors Society, Philosophy Club, Staff Writer, Literary Magazine Editor, Student Council Executive Board, President of Polish Club and of French Literature Club, Interact Club, Jazz Band, over 200 hours of community service, Peer Mediator, L.I.N.K., SHOC Counselor, and have at least 2 hours of Peer Tutoring a Week. Run own music lesson buissness (employ highschool musicians to give lessons, percent of profits go to charity) I am also planning to do an internship with 2 yale graduate, college writing proffesors (one of which wrote for the NY Times), a language proffesor at University of Delaware, and a Cardiologist. </p>
<p>I am also very involved in Classical Guitar and take lessons from a college proffessor and am in the Finals for 2 Youth competitions, and have participated in Master Classes at Julliard and Peabody</p>
<p>Your GPA's a little low, but that's certainly understandable, given the illness/injuries, and your ECs are outstanding. Vassar definitely gives more weight to academics than extracurriculars, though, so while you're a solid candidate, I wouldn't count on the ECs too much.</p>
<p>thanks for the response, my freshman gpa was low, but i had one B sophomore year (4.1 w) and this year i should have around a 4.36w including 2 college courses in language over the summer. How do u think this helps my chances?? (the professor who im doin a private study with was undergrad at vassar so he might be able to help me)</p>
<p>A 4.36/4.0 is a good GPA, considering the max GPA you could have had this year with three APs and maybe two or three non-APs would have been around a 4.5 or a 4.6, assuming your school weights an A in an AP as a 5.0/4.0 (I also took three APs my junior year, which is why I know what the max GPA would roughly be). The summer courses also can't hurt, nor can a rec from the Vassar grad professor, though there are many Vassar grads out there who write such recs each year. As long as you keep the grades up (and maybe raise the CW score to 680+), you should be a very good candidate at Vassar!</p>
<p>I don't believe Vassar is allowed to "formally" recruit students for any sport, because the school is division III. That being said, getting in touch with the coach and having him/her express an interest in you could definitely help with the admissions process. If the coach is interested in you and expresses this interest to the admissions office, it gives a little extra boost to your application and could help make the difference if you end up on the edge of getting in or not.</p>
<p>Well, I was recruited for lacrosse... not hardcore recruited, granted--no cars or money involved ;)--but there were lots of emails and phone calls and friendly letters--all the stuff that seems to go along with "real" recruiting. Not that I've ever been recruited at the D-I level or anything...</p>
